All a bit beyond my braincell powers I think, will try, although have tried to uninstall websearches uninstaller before and nothing happens, just freezes up the screen and the only way out is to restart. Ran a boot scan, took hours, but still got the problem although it did identify several infected files which I sent to the avast chest

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Forgot Avast and anything else. You're now under my command

Follow what I wrote and we will solve this. If some program won't uninstall, skip it. Disable Avast if Zoek won't work.

 

[suedwards]

uninstalled the software, but fixlist.txt went to different file. cannot get them together. fixlist in wps format and frst is in downloads as txt, the other frst is in downloads as app. I created a folder and copied them all into it, but it does not work

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

It must work. Check file names. Download again. Open FRST and press Fix

 

[suedwards]

No log from first frst but log from zoek

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Did you executed FRST?

 

[suedwards]

yes . I clicked fix and it fired up several minutes elapsed then it cleared.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Can you use the same procedure again and attach Fixlog.txt after it is done.

 

[suedwards]

Is this ok, cos don't know what I'm doing now, getting confused

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Very good

Tell me how is the situation now?

 

[suedwards]

I think that its fixed. No crashing noises when I started up and no messages about missing dll file. Thank you for your time and patience with a novice

I can recommend you this software to avoid Adware in the future. Unchecky is very light and install and forget program. It works in background and has auto update feature, so beleive me you will forget it is installed.
